Norma Jean – Prepare for Century Media Release in Europe; Announce 2007 Tour Package
After being released in the US through Solid State Records and debuting at #38 in the Billboard Top 100, Atlanta-based NORMA JEAN will now unleash their new album ‘Redeemer’ their latest slab of emotion-laden noisy sound eruptions in UK via Century Media Records on January 15, 2007.
With 2005 released “O’ God, The Aftermath”, drummer Daniel Davison, bassist Jake Schultz, and guitarists Chris Day and Scottie Henry welcomed new vocalist and Arkansa´s native Cory Brandan to their lineup and took their artful, technical noise to the proverbial next level, earning critical acclaim and a 2006 Grammy nomination (for Asterik Studios’ awe-inspiring artwork) in the process, and embarking on a tough touring schedule that most recently found them on Ozzfest 2006′s second stage.
Produced by Ross Robinson (At The Drive-In, From First To Last, Sepultura) at Radio Star Studios, the weird angles and difficult guitar figures that comprised “O’ God, The Aftermath” are still present on “Redeemer”, but that album’s refined, very-much-studio feel has also given way to raw atmospheres in which you can practically see the sweat running onto the instruments. Brandan, who’s already proved himself a formidable vocalist, fully comes into his own on “Redeemer” with a style that veers between unhinged screaming and down-on-his-knees melodic belting.
The tracklisting for “Redeemer” is as follows:
1. A Grand Scene For A Color Film
2. Blueprints For Future Homes
3. A Small Spark Vs. A Great Forest
4. A Temperamental Widower
5. The End Of All Things Will Be Televised
6. Songs Sound Much Sadder
7. The Longest Lasting Statement
8. Amnesty Please
9. Like Swimming Circles
10. Cemetery Like A Stage
11. No Passenger : No Parasite
NORMA JEAN will be touring Europe in early 2007 together with HE IS LEGEND (who will release their new album “Suck Out The Poison” through Century Media on January 15 in Europe) and a still to be confirmed third band
